[Avid-L2] Re: SRW-5500 Closed Captioning

I recall being told by Sony that the "J" series does not have blanking controls in the menu. I don't have JH3 to confirm this. When I was talking with Sony it was regarding a J30SDI but they said sense it wan't considered necessary to have blanking controls on that series of decks. I know of one facility that offers closed captioning services and they said after closed captioning an HD master they could not just clone from their JH3 and maintain CC. They would just reencode to make extra copies. Same number of machines but it ties up the CC encoder for every copy. I checked with Sony after hearing that and they confirmed that the blanking is always wide open on the JH-3. They also added that it is critical to have sync to both the decks when cloning. According to them even though the record deck will lock to incoming video without sync there can be enough jitter to mess up the CC metadata if both decks aren't locked to the same reference. I'll admidt I find the need for sync a bit odd but that is what Sony tech support suggests and they should know, right? Bottom line Sony says you should be able to clone with CC if both decks have sync fed to them.
